Vantaggi
Free food and snacks are genuinely good (if you’re actually around to eat them). Office spaces look great and are well-designed — very “Instagram workplace”. Some genuinely talented people to learn from (especially early career). Brand name looks strong on a CV. Flexibility on paper (remote/hybrid policies exist… in theory). Tools and internal systems are polished and modern
Svantaggi
Very high turnover with little to no replacement hiring. Teams shrink and the work just gets redistributed. Roles quietly expand without title or pay changes. Constant “do more with less” messaging. Burnout is common and rarely addressed beyond surface-level initiatives. Knowledge drain as experienced people leave and aren’t backfilled. Morale takes a hit when exits feel normalised. Re-orgs feel reactive rather than strategic. Long-term planning suffers because teams are stretched too thin.
